The Baker Chick shares this recipe for peppery bacon and cheddar scones. You might become a morning person with this kind of motivation:

They are truly to die for. I mean what's not to love about bacon, freshly ground black pepper, cheddar cheese and thinly sliced scallions? (I can't think of anything.)

They travel well, are an easy grab and go breakfast, and are a great alternative if you don't feel like something sweet for breakfast. (Which I do sometimes I swear!) You can also totally make these your own by changing up the cheese (I think gouda would also be great,) adding some herbs, jalapenos etc.
